The Star say the “Old Lady have made the Chile ace a
priority” with reports emanating from the Italian newspaper Tuttosport that Sanchez
is on their wanted list.

Juve are believed to be still keen on Everton striker Romelu
Lukaku, but see Sanchez as a more cost effective option.

There are not too many details on any prospective deal and
the validity of the story is open for discussion with Lukaku and Sanchez very different
players indeed. It would be hard to see how a club chasing Lukaku would switch
to a Sanchez-type player, because he was a few million cheaper.

Roma Turn
Down £28m United Offer

Roma have turned down a £28million offer from Manchester
United for defender Kostas Manolas, according to reports in Italy.

The Star report that “Italian transfer guru Emanuele
Giuanelli” claims United are keen on bringing the Greek defender to Old
Trafford to partner him with new boy Eric Bailly.

The 25-year-old, who has been watched by Arsenal, only moved
to Serie A in August from Olympiakos, but it also interesting Chelsea, according
to the Corierre dello Sport.

The Italian paper though suggests that the centre-back is
chasing a new contract in Rome and with Champions League football on the table
it would not be a surprise to see the player remain in Serie A.
